    Default Keeper: Price or Talbot?

    This is a two-parter. League keeps 1C/1R/1L/1D + 2 at any position. I am currently in third but really close to 1st. There is some interest from one team in acquiring Price. Top 5 players on that team are Crosby, Kucherov, Doughty, Marchand, Kesler...and Hall I guess. In the off-season I will be forced to jettison one of Holtby/Price/Talbot ... that is, try to trade to improve my draft position. So should I pull the trigger at this point? And is it Price that I should move?

    I see another thread "should I trade Price" and the advice is to get Crosby-level value in return. Thinking in terms of keepers and value in the future, how does Crosby's value compare to Price's? They're the same age and both have a history of season-shortening injuries.

    So, to recap:
    1) Of the three goalies, which are my two keepers?
    2) If I choose to trade one to the team mentioned above, what makes sense to target in a trade?

    Keep Price and Holtby. Trade Talbot. And Talbot should still be able to get you a top skater in return.

    Maybe see if you can do Talbot + Stamkos for Crosby, or Wheeler + Talbot for Kucherov.

    I think Price will net you the better return on trade. So if you can land Crosby for Price (even if you have to add a small +) then I would make that deal and roll with Holtby/Talbot for next year.

    However, if Crosby (or another Top 10 player) is unavailable, then by all means, move Talbot and roll with Holtby/Price and feel good about locking up all the goalies cats next year.

    Without me, it's only "aweso".

    Price or Holtby will give you the best return. Trade one of them (preferably Holtby) because your selling low on Price right now.

    Apparently Price for Crosby is one the table. Can I really say no to that?

    I would trade Price if I was getting Crosby. Especially because your remaining goaltenders are so strong and having good years too.

    Accept! Accept! Crosby is still the best player in the league and you have 2 other ridiculous goalies (one already on a great team and one on a good team that will be great in the next couple years).

    Although now you have to decide between keeping Talbot and Stamkos. Perhaps another trade is in your future.
    Set roster weekly in H2H (Mon to Sun) - 16 Teams - start 6F, 3D, and 1G per week - Keep 2

    Points: 2 G / 2 A / 1 PPG / 1 PPA / 1 Hat Trick / 1 SHG / 1 SHA / 1 GWG - 3 Goalie Win / 2 Goalie Loss in SO or OT / 5 goalie SO

    Forwards:
    C. McDavid, N. Kucherov, R. O'Reilly, J. Schwartz, J. Toews, J. Huberdeau, T. Toffoli, M. Granlund

    Defense:
    B. Burns, J. Klingberg, R. Josi, J. Slavin

    Goalie:
    J. Binnington
